Many times we are able to produce high prescription lenses in thinner and lighter weights than patients previously believed was possible. We are constantly updating our frame styles and keeping up with latest eyewear fashion trends. Choose from over 1000 frane styles.
Lens Options at Low Prices
We offer a full range of spectacle lens options including progressive (invisible) bifocals, anti glare treatments, polarized lenses for sunwear, and ultrathin, ultralight lenses to reduce the thickness of all types of prescriptions. We offer all of this to you at prices that are generally the same or lower than highway or mall franchises.

Free-Form Lenses
At our office, your vision is our number one priority. With that being said, we take great pride in offering our customers Free-Form Lenses , a must-have for maximum vision correction. No matter how sophisticated in design, traditional progressive lenses cannot account for the visual requirements of each and every individual wearer. Each prescription requires a unique optical design to fully eliminate lens aberrations, or departures from the desired prescription. The Free-Form Lens prevents this. We’re not saying that traditional progressive lenses don’t correct your vision, simply stated- it’s much like buying a high definition television over a regular television.
The advent of “Free-Form” surfacing technology has freed lens designers from the constraints of traditional mass lens production. Free-Form surfacing uses an extremely accurate, computer controlled system, which delivers progressive lenses that have been designed and produced “on demand” for a specific wearer. By using Free-Form technology, a truly unique and fully customized progressive lens is designed by a persons unique data, which the computer design engine calculates based off of the individuals prescription, fitting geometry and frame information. When this technology is utilized in conjunction with the software that designs traditional progressive lenses, it becomes possible to match the optics of each progressive lens exactly to the visual requirements of the specific person.
By customizing each lens design, every Free-Form lens will faithfully preserve the intended optical performance. Therefore, progressive lens wearers will no longer have to tolerate the various optical compromises that are characteristics of traditional, mass-produced progressive lenses.

EYE TEST AND SPECIALIZED TESTING
Here's a brief guide to the special eye tests your eye doctor may perform during an eye exam. In addition to a complete examination of your eye, your doctor may want to order one of the following eye tests.
Applanation Method
This eye test helps doctors diagnose glaucoma by measuring the amount of pressure needed to flatten a portion of the cornea. This is done by taking a thin strip of paper stained with the dye fluorescein. This dye stains the front of the eye and enables a better eye exam by the doctor. The patient is then given a local anesthesia in the form of drops and the pressure is measured using a tonometer.

Corneal Topography
During this eye test, a computer is used create a "map" of the curvature of the cornea. The computer analysis will show any distortions of the cornea such as scarring, as well as conditions such as astigmatism. This eye test is used to screen patients before they undergo any refractive surgery,] as well as for fitting contact lenses and corneal transplants.

Fluorescein Angiogram
This is an eye test used to evaluate the blood circulation in the retina. It is useful in helping diagnose diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment. During this eye test, a special dye, called fluorescein, is injected into a vein in the arm. The dye quickly travels to the blood vessels inside the eye. Once it reaches the eye, a specialized camera equipped with special filters that highlight the dye is used to photograph the fluorescein as it circulates though the blood vessels in the back of the eye. This will enable the doctor to diagnose any circulation problems, swelling, leaking or abnormal blood vessels.
Pupillary Dilation Test
During this eye test, the eye doctor places special drops in the eye that cause the pupil to dilate (expand). By dilating the pupils, your doctor can examine your retina for any signs of disease.
Refraction Test
This eye test measures your ability to see objects at specific distances. Often doctors will ask the patient to look at a chart, usually 20 feet away, and try to read it while looking through a special instrument known as a phoropter. The phoropter moves lenses of different strengths into place for the patient to look through. The doctor will ask you which of the choices looks clearer and based on these answers will determine the appropriate prescription needed for glasses or contacts. This eye test is useful in helping to diagnose presbyopia, hyperopia, myopia, and astigmatism.

Slit-lamp Exam
This eye test looks at the front of the eye by shining a beam of light shaped like a small slit on the eye. The eye doctor may also dilate your pupils while you are undergoing this eye exam. The eye test can be used to help diagnose cataracts, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, injuries to the cornea and presbyopia.

Tonometry
An eye test used to help diagnose glaucoma in which a small, smooth instrument known as a tonometer is lowered onto the surface of the eye in order to measure the pressure in the eye. Other methods of measuring eye pressure can also be used. The "air puff" tonometer measures the eye pressure indirectly by the eye's resistance to a puff of air. It is less accurate but does not require anesthetic eye drops.

Ultrasound
An ultrasound eye test uses sound waves to provide a picture of the eye's internal structure. It is useful in evaluating ocular tumors as well as the retina when it is being obscured by cataracts or a hemorrhage. This eye test will be given as part of preoperative evaluation for cataract surgery.
Visual Acuity Testing
A test of your visual acuity, or ability to see sharply and clearly at near and far distances, will be performed. Various eye tests can be used to determine the visual acuity of infants, children, and adults. These are fairly simple and can be performed by an ophthalmologist, optometrist, technician, nurse or optician. They do not, however, test for important functions of sight, like depth perception or color blindness. One common type of eye test used for children who cannot yet read is the Random E's Visual Acuity Test. The patient is asked to identify the direction that the letter "E" opens to by holding out 4 fingers to mimic the letter "E." This eye test is safe, there are no risks involved, and it works just as well as most other eye tests.

Visual Field Test
A test used to measure peripheral (side) vision. When given this test, you will be asked to stare at on object in the center of your line of vision (either the doctor's eyes, on a screen or using a computer program). As you are looking at the object, you will be asked to note when you see an object moving into your peripheral vision. This test is done to diagnose glaucoma or possible damage caused by a stroke.

GDX HRT RTA and OCT
These technologies are used to help diagnose and treat many eye diseases, specifically Glaucoma and retinal disorders. This technology uses laser scans of the back of eye to accurately diagnosis eye diseases. Glaucoma Vision loss simulator

Corneal pachymetry
Corneal pachymetry can aid in the diagnosis of corneal thinning and is helpful to assess the function of the corneal endothelium (posterior layer of the cornea). This test is useful in assessing a patient’s eligibility for refractive surgery. Recently, corneal thickness has also been found to be useful in interpreting intraocular pressure

Endothial Cell Count

This is a new addition to our practice. It is used for evaluating patients who have Cataracts, contact lens problems, Corneal disease, Patients thinking about Lasik, patients who will be undergoing and corneal surgery. This technology allows us to treat and diagnosis more accurately patients with many vision problems. This technology is cutting edge and we are the first practice in our area to own one.
